Pet care experience
I have had dogs ever since I can remember–4 Samoyeds and now a Pit-Boxer mix rescue. Everyone in my family from my great grandmother to my cousins have always had dogs too from spaniels to shepards. I've spent my entire life learning to love and care for dogs of all sizes from feeding to watering to walking to washing, drying and de-matting. I adore animals in general but dogs have been family, best friends, therapy animals and more for me. I know how to befriend even the most unfriendly animals and build a rapport with them. So you can trust if you entrust your pet to me, I will always treat your pet whether it be dog or a cat like it is my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my 10-3pm class schedule and my remote research work. Before class, during lunch break and faster perfectly aligns with a pets needs and general walk schedule. In my clients home I treat their pet and their space as if they are my own with the utmost respect. I have a reputation for leaving spaces equal or better than I found them and treating peoples pets the same way.
Reviews
Hope was terrific, as always! In addition to my dog I was keeping a dog whose owner had just died until she could be placed with a family member overseas. The dog lost her owner, had been moved for her home, was a rescue, and had never been in a city. She was pretty freaked out and Hope was so thoughtful and attentive to both dogs. She leaves the house as or better than she found it, with happy dogs.
Hope is fabulous! Ricky loves her. They have a great time together, she is completely responsible, and I always come home to a happy dog and tidy house. I am so happy that we found Hope!
Consistent great care and flexibility. Thanks!
Hope stayed with my dog Ricky, just days after we lost both of the twin 14?year old min pins that had been with him his whole life. They passed 6 weeks apart, and Ricky was clearly devastated and confused. Hope did an outstanding job of making him comfortable under such difficult circumstances. It was a treat for him to have that time with Hope. I am so grateful!

Information Hope A. W. would like to know about your pet
I need to know what type of care the dog is used to getting from their parent, if they have any particular allergies or things they need to avoid, if the dog has specific important likes or dislikes that will effect the dogs well being, i would need to know about any medicines/how often they take it.
A typical day
On a typical day I would do my research on my laptop with the dog curled at my heels or beside me, I would start my day early with a walk and in the afternoon/at in the evening and before bed too. After my playing at the park I might girl my dog a big bowl of ice water and a treat. :)
